Arsene Wenger insists his side are nowhere near to joining the Premier League title race, despite his side sitting just four points behind second-placed Manchester City in the table.

It must be a strange time to be an Arsenal fan. Seven wins from eight Premier League games in 2015 point to quite a resurgence at the club after the opening three months of the season were beyond embarrassing.

Topping the injury table had left Arsene Wenger with a threadbare squad and, as a result, they disappointed. However, things started to turn in December as the cavalry returned and, slowly but surely, the team has kicked into gear and found some impressive form. With three wins from three,...

Arsenal edged to a nervous 2-0 win over Everton on Sunday to keep their hopes of a top-four finish intact. After the midweek defeat at home to Monaco, there was an understandable tension in the air at the Emirates. Ultimately, a lacklustre Gunners side struggled for fluency and Everton will feel unlucky to leave north London without a point.

The opening goal came from Olivier Giroud, who achieved a measure of redemption after his miss-laden display against Monaco when he tucked home Mesut Ozil's...

The ESPN FC panel discuss the necessary elements to a potential Arsenal victory over Everton.

Arsenal's disappointment in the wake of Wednesday's Champions League disaster has been palpable.

Striker Olivier Giroud described himself as "hurt and embarrassed" after his profligacy in front of goal was made all the more costly by defensive lapses that the team had worked hard to cut out of their game. Arsene Wenger, meanwhile, was the brunt of heavy criticism for not being able to overcome what was, for once, an opponent in the first knockout round that the Gunners could realistically expect...
